Veterans honored during annual Memorial Day observance Representatives from local area veterans groups, Sylvania Recreation and the city of Sylvania staff members are planning events for the 2019 Sylvania Memorial Day observances, which will be held Monday, May 27. “Everyone is encouraged to come out to honor and show respect for veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces,” said members of the planning committee. A brief service will be held at Toledo Memorial Park, 6832 Monroe St., beginning at 9 am. Over 14,000 local veterans are laid to rest at Toledo Memorial Park and a “Sea of Flags” will decorate their graves. Local veterans groups and color guards will also visit Association, Ravine and St. Joseph’s cemeteries to honor area veterans buried there. Tom Cafferty has been named the 2019 Grand Marshal for the annual Memorial Day Parade, which will start at St. Joseph’s School, 5411 Main St., beginning at 10:15 am.

The parade stops at the Main Street bridge just south of Sautter’s Food Market and the Root building where Sylvania Southview students Jay Forche and Ashley Mercer will play bugles during the wreath ceremony at the bridge. The parade will proceed north on Main Street to Erie Street finishing at Veterans Memorial Field. Northview and Southview high school bands, as well as local veterans, military, scout and civic groups, classic cars and local political dignitaries will participate in this year’s parade. A 30-minute Memorial Day service honoring America’s veterans will begin at 11:15 am at Veterans Memorial Field with Sylvania Mayor Craig Stough serving as Master of Ceremonies. Five large bronze monuments are in place at Memorial Field describing five American wars and listing the Sylvania area residents who gave up their lives in those conflicts.

Flags are placed on the graves of veterans.

Sixth annual Field of Flags Memorial on display

The River Raisin National Battlefield Park will be holding its sixth annual Field of Flags Memorial at the Park, 403 E. Elm Ave., Monroe, Mich.

‘1964 The Tribute’ returns to Sylvania

“1964 The Tribute,” listed as the top Beatles Show in the world, is coming to Sylvania on July 27 presented by Midwest Entertainment Consultants. For over two decades “1964 The Tribute” has been playing to sold out venues all over the world and returns again this year to Centennial Terrace in Sylvania. This touring theatrical concert experience is considered one of the finest re-creations of an early Fab Four performance to ever go on the road. The billing as the #1 Beatles show comes from the details of the Beatles early years that are captured from the haircut, suits, vintage instruments, and the ultra clear Beatle harmonies to the stage banter between the four lads as they capture the hearts and souls of every audience member. Tickets are available at etix.com or by calling 419-381-8851 at Stranahan Theater Box Office.

Books and Beyond Ask Your Librarian with Ben Malczewski

Party Benefits Girls on the Run

Each month for Ask Your Librarian we’ll field actual questions (from library customers) that may be of interest for others in the Sylvania community – if you have a question you’d like to ask, email Sylvania Library Manager, Ben Malczewski, at his really long address: ben.malczewski@toledolibrary.org

Question:

When I came in last Saturday I saw a roomful of people doing yoga – what’s that all about and how can I get in on it?! Thank you for asking! What you saw was the last session in a six-week pilot program we were testing where we offered free yoga classes before the Library opens (from 8-9 am) with certified instructors from Yogaja Yoga. The idea is something I’ve been calling “cost offset” programming, where the Library offers something of the same quality for free that you would normally pay for. We do this in a lot of other areas – like the hoopla app for streaming music, TV shows and movies – and this represents just one more way that the Library can deliver value and save you money without compromising the product or service. The good new is, because the trial was a success, with all of our yoga sessions at capacity (we had a wait list) we’re going to continue offering this.

Yoga with Toledo Asana Room:

Jump start your weekend with free yoga classes with Toledo Asana Room yoga. All experience levels welcome. This is a great introduction to Ashtanga Yoga. For six consecutive weeks the Sylvania Library and Toledo Asana Room will help you start your weekends off rejuvenated with mindfulness and physical movement. Register online or give us a call at 419-882-2089 - space is limited!

Clockwise from left: Elicia Leal, Crystal Glenn, Amber Irwin, and Nicki Decker attend Cheers & Beers on May 9 to support Girls on the Run Northwest Ohio, held at Inside the Five Brewing Company.

Question:

We’re new to the area and our teenager is really into video games – do you have any programs where they might be able to meet other teens with similar interests? First off, welcome! And secondly, thanks for reaching out. I could go on for paragraphs about what we have to offer from coding to robotics and 3D printing, but I think the best place to start is by coming to our Teen Gamers Guild drop-in program every Thursday from 3-5 pm in the teen area. It’s low commitment and pretty chill – there’s nothing to bring (we supply all the latest games)- and it’s a good place to meet other teens. Hope to see your teen there!

This will be convenient for market shoppers and vendors alike. Plus, people will have the opportunity to

see our great downtown while they are at the market,” offers Downtown Sylvania Association Market Manager Connie Torrey. “The market has grown each year and we were running out of space for vendors in our former location. In addition, parking is becoming more and more of a challenge,” notes Sylvania’s Economic Development Director Bill Sanford. “This new site is a good thing for market shoppers and the downtown businesses, as well. Plus, the market will be much more visible to motorists traveling on Main Street,” Sanford says. Parking for market shoppers will be available in the municipal parking lot.

Libbey Glasscutters on exhibit at Hudson Gallery

‘Cookie’ A new exhibit, “Libbey Glasscutters,” a solo exhibition of drawings by Daniel Mauk will be on view at Hudson Gallery in downtown Sylvania.The opening reception

will be held Friday, June 7 from 6 to 8 pm. Mauk’s drawings are off balance realistic renderings of the varying subjects completed in wild, unnatural colors. His colors are carefully chosen to best reflect the story he is trying to tell and the mood being established. The artist is interested in the way the world operates. He explained, “My role as an artist, as a story-teller, is to respond to the world - the good, the bad, and the ugly - and hopefully start conversations between people.” In this body of work Mauk explores the world of an imaginary late 60s baseball team from Toledo called the Libbey Glasscutters. The artist explained, “It was so much fun coming up with the legend of the Libbey Glasscutters and building characters to fit in with this Toledo treasure. Did the Glasscutters have an overbearing, yet totally adorable kid who went to all their games and insisted they look good? Of course they did, Cookie is her name. Did they have a peanutcounting accountant? Yes, meet Vincent. Did Bobby Jett really bring his chicken to every game? Of course, it was the 1960s.”

New owner takes the reins at Cherry Creek Winery in the Irish Hills

SAFS Receives Allstate ‘Helping Hands’ Grant

Sylvania Area Family Services Executive Director Dottie Segur receives an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant from JamiLynn Fox of the JamiLynn Fox Allstate Agency.

Spring is here!

Protect your pets from fleas, ticks and heartworm!

Patrick Spensley is the new owner of the 16year-old Cherry Creek Cellars, a winery in the Irish Hills. He assumed ownership last February after being a member of the staff for the past eight years. The former owners, John and Denise Burtka, also have a craft beer brewing company in Jackson, Mich. “The Burtkas had made the decision to sell the winery so they could focus on their beer operation,” Spensley explained. “This is a wellestablished smaller craft boutique winery with a strong customer base. We have a knowledgeable, friendly staff who were willing to stay on and work with me. I had been involved with every aspect of the business, and I also am passionate about wine making, so buying this business was a no-brainer decision for me and my wife. I had always envisioned being in business for myself,” Spensley noted. “And to have the opportunity to own a business that you are so passionate about is a real bonus. I get to come here every day and do what I love... make distinctive, quality wines and hard ciders,” he smiled. The Michigan native grew up near the Irish Hills and graduated from Miami of Ohio with a business degree. After graduation, he traveled to New Zealand where he started working in vineyards and wineries to finance his travels. “However, I fell in love with the industry and knew this was the career path I wanted. When I came back home, I was fortunate to get a job at this winery where I was able to work my way up. This is just a great place for me. I’m always learning, gaining new knowledge, and acquiring new techniques—especially to improve the quality of our harvest,” he explained. According to Spensley, the winery moved to its present 10-acre location at 1150 Silver Lake Hwy. in Brooklyn, Mich., just north of Michigan International Speedway, about 10 years ago. The interior of the 1870s schoolhouse on the property was renovated to accommodate a tasting room. Four years ago, the former owners added a café offering a limited seasonal menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, paninis and shareables that work well with wine. “Janet Smoyer prepares all of the delicious food from scratch that we offer,” Spensley said. “She also coordinates all of the

events we hold here, including bridal showers, weddings, parties and more. She is wonderful and has been an integral part of the staff for some time. Guests can sample up to five different wines at our $5 tasting or buy a glass or a bottle to enjoy with lunch or dinner. We want people to have an enjoyable experience as well as learning about our wines,” he offered. “We use hand-crafted, premium quality local fruit, some of which is grown in the five acre vineyard on the property. We also buy fruit from growers around Michigan to produce the 2,500 cases of our wine that we process here. Producing wine in Michigan is always interesting,” said Spensley. “Our varying weather adds character to our wine. The challenge is to take the fruit you get, work with it and massage it to make it the best it can be. It also makes our wines distinctive.” Cherry Creek wines include a selection of dry whites, dry blush and rosé and dry reds, with new releases planned through the season. The Tasting Room and Café are open Monday through Wednesday from 11 am to 6 pm, Thursday through Saturday from 11 am to 10 pm, and Sunday from 12 to 6 pm from April through December. From January through March, the winery is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 11- 6 pm. Customers can also sign up for the Wine Club. Membership is free with the purchase at least four bottles of wine, three times a year. Three Pick Up parties are held during the year where members can pick up their wine and enjoy free tasting, music and appetizers. Tastings are free to club members throughout the year and they also enjoy a 10 percent discount on wine purchases. Spensley looks to add to the already established event schedule. Currently music is offered on Thursday and Friday evenings outside under the pergola, drawing hundreds of patrons. The Summer Concert Series kicksoff Memorial Day weekend with Phoenix Theory on Sunday, May 26 from 3 to 6 pm. On May 30, Twilight Thursdays starts with Jason Cross. A full line up of Vineyard Jams is scheduled on Fridays beginning May 31 from 7 to 10 pm with Midnite Stew. Additional shows are scheduled on Sunday afternoons during holiday weekends. A full list of all events can be found on their Facebook page, Cherry Creek Winery. Spensley also plans to expand the variety of entertainment offered to perhaps include dinner theatre, a date night series, art classes and exhibits, and more. “I want to make full use of this property,” he said. In addition, Spensley looks to expand his distribution network. Currently, Cherry Creek wines can be found in limited locations throughout Michigan and he is looking to widen that network throughout the state, into Ohio and beyond.

Alexis Gardens has a fresh, new look; open house planned

“We are excited to show the community our new look and all that we have to offer,” emphasized Alexis Gardens Sales Leader, Maria Crane. “This enhanced independent living community has been here for 17 years and it was time.” Recently, the dining room and atrium have undergone a total renovation. Walls have been repainted and new lighting, flooring and window treatments have been installed. All new tables and chairs also now greet residents in the dining room. “We donated all of the old furniture to churches and other nonprofit groups who could distribute the dining room tables and chairs to those in need of furniture,” Crane said. “We were delighted to be able to repurpose these 32 tables and 132 chairs, knowing that they will help others,” General Manager Jim Black added. The renovation will be highlighted at the upcoming open house, scheduled for May 30 from 4 to 6:30 pm according to Black. “Visitors who stop by will have the opportunity to tour our facility and learn about our services and meet members of our staff,” he stated. “And, those staff members are a big reason we have been successful for so many years. Several people have worked here since the community opened 17 years ago. Our staff really cares about our residents and gets to know them very well. We like to think we help our residents age in place while maintaining their independence.” Crane added, “This really is a home ... a community where you can meet and make new friends. And we find that life is better

surrounded by friends and with those who care.” In addition, Alexis Gardens is a petfriendly community. Residents can enjoy three chef-prepared meals daily, GPS emergency call system, weekly housekeeping service, on-site complimentary laundry facilities and scheduled transportation to shopping, medical appointments and other activities. There is a library, billiard room, chapel, exercise room and a full-size kitchen in the community room. A full calendar of events and activities is planned to meet the varying interests of residents.

Recently I was asked to speak at the Sylvania Area Rotary. I made the error of saying something in the mother tongue of a fellow Rotarian originally from Italy. Two weeks later, I found myself standing before a room of professionals talking about my experiences while in Italy, a topic that was anything but professional. To put things in perspective, the week before, an orthopedic surgeon did a live mock demo of a knee replacement. In comparison my first PowerPoint slide showed a photo of me 30 plus years and pounds ago in a jumpsuit I could not nor want to be in today (public bathrooms are at a premium in Italy-do the math). At some point during my self proclaimed “fluffy travel speech” I realized something. The life lessons I learned in my beloved Italia were not all “fluff ” and not only permanently impacted me but produced a domino affect in others to live the “dolce vita.” My first trip to Europe was with my parents. While in Rome I met some students my age working at our hotel. I was asked if I would like to go to their family’s home for Easter dinner. During dinner I was asked in broken English how I felt when the entire room was speaking in Italian and I could not understand or join in the conversation. I was hoping to say that I felt frustrated and frankly stupid, in Italian, for not knowing their language. Instead I told the entire roomful of Romans that I was an a$$hole. Miraculously, they offered me a place to stay if I ever returned to Rome. I did return, which began a life-long friendship. I learned many things as a 5’10ish (heavy on the ish) blonde living in a two-bedroom flat outside of Rome. I quickly realized that not only were the majority of males height challenged but so were the counter tops and furniture. I had to do the splits to be at a level to see my reflection in a mirror and felt like a primate hunched over the sink while doing dishes. The living room doubled as my bedroom and being a woman who has never been on a pantyhose chart or a growth chart, it was not surprising that my feet hung over the couch that served as my bed. Lesson number one: Size does not matter. A six-person family not only survived but thrived in that small space packed with love. Truly, less is more. Having roughly 30” of space to hang my clothes was actually freeing. Even though I had a limited space for clothing and “stuff,” I had limitless space for adventure. Lesson number two: Learning is enhanced with the right motivation. Having the basics of conversational Spanish under my belt when arriving in Italy, many were surprised at how quickly I was able to be understood. When you have men coming up and putting their arm around you saying, “questa e la mia donna” (this is my woman), you become a fast learner. I also learned to “parla con le tue mani” (talk with your hands). You speak Italian with your hands more than with your mouth. I once tried to convey to a gentleman that something was ‘similar’ and made what I thought was the appropriate hand gestures. His eyes lit up and became VERY excited. I decided to keep my hands in my pockets until I became more proficient. Lesson number three: If you can survive taking three prepubescent girls solo to a different country, you can survive anything. I took my girls to Rome in 2004. Once again, it was a beautiful experience to have my

children meet my beloved Corsetti family. Little did I know how much I needed that trip. A few years later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Getting out of your comfort zone helps you survive and being a survivor gives you the courage to keep getting out of your comfort zone. Climbing up the interior of the claustrophobic St. Peter’s dome in the heat of summer behind a German woman who possessed the largest behind I had ever seen, prepared me for the catastrophic, cramped situations I would endure through my cancer journey. Sadly, the lessons from traveling and being a survivor can be lost once you get back into your routine or morph back into a woman with hair and eyelashes. DON’T LOSE THE LESSONS. I often have to remind

myself that I am the woman who got on a bus outside of Rome as the only American and apparently the only person who believed in using deodorant in 101 degrees. I am THAT tough. I truly believe that it is often your actions and not your words that stick with your kids. My middle child taught in a hut (sans toilet and running water) in Kenya and my youngest studied abroad at Griffith University in the Gold Coast of Australia. More adventures await them. Having global experiences has made me a better person and writer. You need life experiences to write. Closer to home, I get the privilege of sharing my community’s good news and relaying tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Traveling has also made me realize that no matter where you go, there are people in need. It has intensified my desire to make a difference in my own backyard and beyond. I understand that I am truly blessed for the opportunities I have had, yet you don’t have to travel to live large. I highly recommend exploring through the pages of a book and/or the local offerings that are waiting to be discovered. One of my favorite written works is by Marianne Willamson. She writes, “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” I now understand that my adventures abroad were anything but “fluff.” Whether you find yourself near or far from home, I hope you live large and shine.

With an emphasis on new and innovative food products, Ohioans have the opportunity to land their product on store shelves with the Ohio Signature Food Contest, running now through May 31. Sponsored by the Center for Innovative Food Technology and Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF), the contest helps facilitate economic growth and job creation in the Ohio food/agriculture industry – the number one industry in the state that already contributes more than $107 billion to the economy. Contestants complete a simple online form outlining the basic details of their product, and food industry experts will judge it based on viability of the product, commercialization potential, business strategy, marketability and overall appeal to the marketplace. Finalists will be invited to present their business concept and product to a panel of judges. The winner will be announced during a special ceremony in late July at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Ohio. Following the announcement, the winner will receive: Technical and business development assistance to help advance a product to the marketplace Production of product to be used for consumer feedback

Nutritional analysis Shelf life/stability testing Review of trademark and copyright components Coordination with Ohio Department of Agriculture for label approval Label design, packaging and ingredient source consultation Attendance to training seminars for free In addition to other benefits, production will be available at the Northwest Ohio Cooperative Kitchen in Bowling Green, Ohio, a nonprofit commercial facility that educates and advises new and growing businesses, provides access to a commercially-licensed kitchen, networking opportunities with other similar entities, and technical assistance. Due to the collaboration with OFBF, increased awareness of this opportunity will be shared with their network. Consideration of membership is encouraged based on the mutual interest in the advancement of local food products. Products do not need to be fully designed or ready for market, rather an ability to communicate a specific vision will help. The entry form along with rules/regulations is available at ciftinnovation.org. The deadline to submit the completed application is Friday, May 31.

Local girl qualifies for national competition BY MARY HELEN DARAH

“I started with my dad when I was 3,” recalled Beka Yang, a fifth-grader at Highland Elementary School who recently qualified for and participated in the national Drive, Chip & Putt contest. The competition was founded in 2013 by the PGA of America, the Masters Tournament, and the United States Golf Association. The junior golf tournament is a free contest that focuses on golf ’s fundamental skills. Yang advanced by competing in subregional and regional qualifiers. The final competition was held at Augusta National Golf Club where eighty finalists, 40 girls and 40 boys, competed. Yang remembers the first time she picked up a club. “My dad challenged me to hit the ball out of the yard and over the fence,” she stated. “Once I got past it, he took me to the range. We then went to the golf course and used his clubs. They were way too long so he bought me my own clubs. My first clubs were a pink Barbie set from Walmart.” Before moving to Sylvania, the Yang’s lived in Tennessee where the young golfer got her start. “They do a great job at the Tennessee Golf House and what is called The Little

Course,” said Yang’s father and biggest fan, Theng Houa Yang. “The Vanderbilt Legends private course was right next door. Beka was in regular group lessons there but they were moving very slow. The instructor suggested private lessons. She took off from there. Her coach suggested the Drive, Chip & Putt. We went to one and registered her three years ago at the age of 7. Her very first year she made it to regional competition.” The following year, the family moved to Sylvania. Previously, their focus was training for the Drive, Chip & Putt, but last year they completely changed their focus. “We changed the way she was trained,” said Mr. Yang. “We didn’t know the area. Some friends told us to check out Toledo Junior Golf. She was young and they weren’t sure if they would take her. She was only 9 at the time. She took second place in the 10-12 age group and got into Toledo Junior Golf. Then we learned about U.S. Kids Golf World championship. They are known for their youth program. The closest place for Beka to play is U.S Kids in southeast Michigan. In the spring she tied for first place in that league.” Beka placed 7th, the day before the Masters week commenced, in the Drive, Chip & Putt

He tied for 16th in the NCAA and was fifth in the Big Ten with 1.11 points per game. Laczynski was a Second Team All-American and First Team All-Big Ten selection in 2018.

Myer, a defenseman who hails from Sylvania, has seen action in 97 games at Ohio State, with 31 points on three goals and 28 assists, along with a +26 rating and 124 blocked shots. In 2018-19 he had eight assists and nine points, ranked second on the team with a +10 mark and had a team-best 52 shot blocks.

The Buckeyes are coming off a season where they were 20-11-5 overall and won the first Big Ten regular season championship in program history, posting a 13-7-4-3 record in conference play. The squad reached the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year and the ninth time in program history.

contest in the 10-11 girls age group. “I got to see Rickie Fowler and Tiger Woods,” she said. “The whole experience was amazing.” Her mom, Gaona Yang, believes the experience was incredible and would like to promote the competition. “The contest is free, and you get to experience so many amazing things,” said Mrs. Yang. “We got to go to places where only members and players can go such as going down Magnolia Lane. Every kid who loves golf should experience it. We are begging her to train so we can go again next year.” The family is thankful for the support of the local golf and Sylvania community. “Everyone has been so supportive,” stated Mrs. Yang. “The parents and grandparents of the other girl golfers cheer her on. She even got to meet the mayor of Sylvania. They gave her a great send off. Her Dare Officer has also been a huge support. Becca is so shy. Half the people in her class didn’t know she golfed. The Officer has helped her get recognized by other kids. He has been bragging that he already has her autograph. We want to thank the Sylvania community for being so kind and encouraging her.” Beka will not be taking a break after the excitement of Drive, Chip & Putt. She recently qualified for the U.S. Kids Golf World championship held at Pinehurst in North Carolina. Beka will compete against 125 kids from all over the world. “One great thing about U.S. Kids Golf is that Beka gets to play with kids her same age,” said Mr. Yang. “With

Beka Yang the Toledo Juniors she plays against high school kids and we are not allowed to help her. In U.S. Kids I am her caddy and can give her support.” For the matriarch of the family, finding balance is of the utmost importance. “We learned to balance life and golf,” stated Mrs. Yang. When Beka started golfing, they reeled me in. Now I’m not home to cook or clean but we are all together. Even though I don’t golf I love watching her.” Beka, who trains daily, will play in approximately 40 tournaments annually. She trains every day, but the family puts school first. “In the future I want to be an LPGA player,” stated the young golfer. “I love going to the Marathon Classic. Maybe you will be watching me at Highland Meadows someday.”

Sylvania–Then and Now BY GAYLEEN GINDY LOOKING BACK

As we head west on Erie Street from the corner of Summit Street, which is where we left off last time, the next house was not constructed until 1925 so it is not yet 100 years old. The third house from that corner is our subject house. Built in 1916, this “catalog home” was constructed here while Thomas Chandler still owned the property. You will remember him from the last article, as he also owned and built the house at the corner in 1897, after retiring as a farmer. His son, Dana Chandler, owned and operated a business in Sylvania, on Monroe Street along the railroad tracks, which he started in 1901. He manufactured what became known as the “Chandler Block.” The foundations of every house in Sylvania, if constructed after 1901, and through the 1940s, had this famous block used in the construction of their homes. This house is a perfect example of that block used on the front porch and foundation. In the 1920 census Thomas Chandler, listed as 82 years old, appeared to be living in this home while renting out his house at the corner to the Bigelows. The house in between had not been constructed yet. Mr. Chandler transferred this home and his corner home into the names of his children in 1921, and that same year his son and daughterin-law, Dana and Iley Chandler, took over ownership of the two homes. They sold this home the next year to Amelia Korth. The recorded list of owners for this property includes: 1897 – Thomas G. Chandler 1921 – Dana G. Chandler & Nama R. Grantham 1921 – Dana G. & Iley M. Chandler 1922 – Amelia Korth 1925 – John W. Olrich 1931 – John W. & Katherine V. Olrich 1951 – Katherine V. Olrich, life estate, then to Williston Home of Mercy, et al. 1975 – Sylvania Savings Bank Co., Trustees 1983 – Luther Home of Mercy 1986 – Jack J., Sr. & Norma R. Straub 1989 – Richard J., Sr., & Delores M. Campbell In 1922 Amelia Korth purchased the home and by 1925 she sold it to her brother, John W. Olrich. John and Katherine Olrich were longtime residents of Sylvania and always lived at 5763 Main St. While they owned our subject home they rented it out from 1925 until he died in 1950 and she died at the age of 100 years old in 1981. At this same time Mr. and Mrs. Olrich owned many other rental properties in Sylvania, as well as owning their home on Main Street. All the properties, after she died, went to the Luther Home of Mercy. A 1926 Sylvania Post Office mail carrier

listing of the names and addresses of those living in the village of Sylvania listed Professor J.H. Young living at 6514 Erie St. He was employed by the Sylvania School Board as the Superintendent of Schools. The Sylvania Sentinel dated July 19,1928 printed a classified advertisement which read: “FOR RENT – Rooms for men - 6514 Erie Street, Sylvania, Ohio.” When the 1930 census was taken the house is listed as rented to Frank J. Bauchman and his wife Elsie. He was employed as a die-maker at a machine shop and she was a cashier at a bottle works. Also living in the home at that time were their sons Francis R. – 12 years old; Robert O. – 10 years old; and Margaret A. Pemberton – 12 years old, listed as a niece. In the 1940 census this house was being rented to Archie and Helen Collins, and their son Clark Collins – 11 years old; and her mother Mabel Clark – 71 years old – widowed. Archie Collins was listed as 52 years old and working as a diesel engineer at a pumping station on a pipe line. This census also indicates that the Collins family was living here in 1935. The Sept. 26,1946 issue of the Sylvania Sentinel listed an obituary notice for Mabel Clark, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.J. Collins, 6514 Erie St. Archie Collins died in 1947 and his obituary notice shows him living at 6514 Erie, and that he was an employee of the Imperial Pipe Line Co. He was also remembered for printing the names on the war memorial display that was set up in downtown and keeping the records on the Sylvania men and women who served during World War II. He was survived by his wife Helen and his son Clark. Helen Collins died in 1958 and her obituary notice said that she died in her home at 6514 Erie St. and was survived by her son, Clark Collins. The first Suburban Directory that listed this address was the 1959 directory. It listed Clark J. Collins living at this address and every directory through 1972 listed Clark Collins living here. As of the 1973 directory the house is listed as vacant. The 1974 Suburban Directory lists Richard J. Campbell renting the home, and every directory through 1988 shows Mr. Campbell renting the home. The owner of the home died in 1981 and by 1983 the home went to the Luther Home of Mercy. In 1986 they sold the home to Jack Sr., and Norma Straub, who owned it until Richard J., Sr. and Delores M. Campbell purchased the home in 1989. They had been renting the home since 1974. Richard Campbell retired from the City of Sylvania as their street superintendent and now lives further west on Erie Street. Since purchasing the home the Campbells have rented the home to the Crouch family and then to their son, who lives here now.

JANIS WE B E R

THE MOUSE TRAP Wifi issues

There may be some new problems in your home. You are streaming more everyday and may have even cut the cable cord, meaning you are streaming all the time. Janis Weber Now, you need more data (unlimited is $30 a month) and a stronger or more efficient router. Also, how about an extender or repeater? A what? Wireless LANs are just like any other technology in one way. They’re full of acronyms and obscure jargon that make no sense to the average person who hasn’t spent a lifetime in technology. Heck, even the term “wireless LAN (local area network)” contains an acronym which is a computer data communications network used within a limited physical location, such as a house. A router is a device like an antenna that takes the signal from your supplier (like Buckeye or Frontier) and spreads it a certain distance from itself to give your equipment wi-fi capability. The stronger the router the better range. Routers come with a code you should be aware of. Look at your router information and see what number and letter is being used. All current routers begin with the number 802.11 but are followed by a letter. In the order of current technology, the letter b is obsolete, the letter a is obsolete, the letter g is very low maximum speed and then the letter n is the most current and fastest. If you see anything but 802.11n, I would consider replacing the router. Usually the

more it costs, the wider the signal. Most home users spend from $70 to $500. An extender is a device that you can use to connect two cable lengths together to create a much longer cable length. The problem with an extender is that it does not reamplify the signal, so be careful not to exceed the cable length for the type of cable you are extending. This is quickly becoming obsolete especially since it requires wiring. A repeater is an object that increases a signal's strength, so it can be transmitted and received over a greater distance without a loss in quality. A wireless repeater is a device which retransmits a wireless signal from a Wi-Fi access point or Wi-Fi router to extend the wireless signal. If you are shopping for a better and more efficient wireless signal in your house, please consider a whole house system. Designed to blanket your home with wireless coverage, Wi-Fi systems are a hybrid of sorts, made up of several networking components. There's a main router that connects directly to your modem, and a series of satellite nodes, that you place throughout your house. A mesh network system is the way to go although it is not the cheapest. The nodes simply plug into any standard outlet in your building. You can start with one or two and add more if you need it. No wiring is required and they can be repositioned at any time. Each signal bounces off each other making the spread of Wi-Fi consistent and even. I am using the Eero System in my house. I did not have to increase my Wi-Fi speed from Buckeye and everything is working with only 20mbps of speed. As of today they only offer 10mbps then jump to 100 and 200. Ten may be too low but check and see if you are currently running at 20. You can stay there and just buy a new Wi-Fi system and save money.

CRAIG STOUGH MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Memorial Day 2019

Monday, May 27 brings a national holiday long celebrated in Sylvania and around the country to honor our veterans who have bravely served in the armed Craig Stough forces and protected America. Many have died in battle, and many more are now growing old and nearing the end of their lives. Some have served in World War II and Korea, or more recently in Vietnam, the Middle East or elsewhere around the world. All these patriots and those serving today deserve our thanks and acclaim. The Sylvania Memorial Day Parade and Services are sponsored by our local Veterans organizations and assisted by the city of Sylvania and Sylvania Recreation. Over the years, many of us have participated in the parade in one way or another. The Northview High School and Southview high school bands are always a part of the parade and ceremonies. I remember how excited and honored I was to first march with the Sylvania High School band on Memorial Day, 1968. The day begins at 8 am with veterans

TOWNSHIP TOPICS

New Administrator

Oliver Turner, the city manager of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., has been named by the Township trustees as the next administrator of Sylvania Township. His first day on the job is planned for May 28, with John Zeitler, the current administrator, staying on for a few weeks to aid in the transition. Turner, 36, who spent most of his childhood and high school years in Celina, Ohio, was a resident of Sylvania and Toledo while a student at The University of Toledo and noted in his application that he feels a personal investment in the area. He added that he has close friends and family nearby. He obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology in 2008 and a master's degree in public administration in 2010, both from The University of Toledo. While in the area, Turner was a municipal management intern with the city of Perrysburg. In 2011 he became the village manager and zoning administrator for the village of Almont, Mich. While there he detected and launched an investigation into what was revealed to be a scheme by a prior clerk/treasurer who had stolen more $145,000 from 2004 until that year. Turner then became the village manager. He became the city manager of Sault Ste. Marie in 2014. Turner has been active in civic organizations including being a former board member of Michigan Municipal Executives. He is currently the chair of that group’s ethics committee. He and his wife and two daughters will be moving here from Sault Ste. Marie. The current administrator, Zeitler, submitted his resignation to the trustees in September 2018 in order for there to be sufficient time for a thorough search for a replacement and for a smooth transition. There were about 100 applicants for the post, with about 10 candidates interviewed.

The morning continues with a 9 am Memorial Ceremony at Toledo Memorial Park and Cemetery in a field near the 75 foot high Veterans Memorial Monument where more than 1,400 veterans are buried. Over 14,000 veterans are laid to rest throughout the Cemetery and an American flag is posted by volunteers on each veteran's grave to create a sea of flags. The Memorial Day Parade assembles at St. Joseph Church and heads north on Main Street at 10:15 am, pauses for a Ceremony at Ten Mile Creek, and continues on to Veterans Memorial Field. An 11:00 am Memorial Day Service follows at the north end of Veterans Memorial Field, and is one of the largest and best attended in northwest Ohio. There are five bronze monuments at Veterans Memorial Field honoring those who served in five wars, and they list the names of all Sylvanians who died in those wars. There is also a tank and a Howitzer cannon on display. In addition, a bronze statue cast in 1982 honoring those veterans stands in front of Sylvania City Hall on Monroe Street, where it is visible to thousands of people every day. The World War II Roll of Honor, previously on display in the Burnham Building, was relocated to City Hall in 2010 and is on display in the first floor lobby. The Roll of Honor was restored and rededicated eight years ago crews have been out clearing drainage ditches, storm sewers and retention ponds. They are liable to continue that work until it’s time to start on road improvements. Lucas County also is working on a couple of projects, all of which together should improve drainage and reduce flooding overall in the township. Township crews have nearly completed work on a retention pond at a housing development on Black Oak. The pond had lost capacity for storing water because of illegal dumping at the site southwest of Central Ave. and Holland-Sylvania Road, according to Rob Nash, Sylvania Township road superintendent. Another township project is a waterway known as the J. Cunningham Ditch, which runs along the south property line of McCord Junior High School. The waterway regularly jams and water invades the adjoining yards. Nash said the road department visits the site twice a year and hauls dump trucks full of debris each visit. In addition to the normal debris that finds its way into drainage ditches, the J. Cunningham Ditch gets debris from the fields behind the school as well as a nearby condominium. He is asking that the county design and construct a tiled, covered waterway, which should cut down on debris and allow for the free flow of water. The top will be seeded with grass seed to improve its appearance. The township will also improve the drainage of the Eisenbraum Ditch in the area of Robinson and Ridgemere. The ditch will be cleared of brush and sediment and any other objects which impeded water flow. The project of about 900 feet is meant to improve drainage for the owners of 22 residential parcels there. County crews are expected to have to clear away trees in order to widen Smith Ditch between McCord Road and I-75/US 23. The project is designed to create “benches” part way up the banks of the waterway. The “benches” will be flat shelves on each side of the channel to increase the capacity of the waterway. They will be planted with tall grasses and native vegetation to improve water quality and

If not veterans ourselves, nearly all of us have a friend or relative who served in the armed forces or is serving today, putting their lives at risk to protect freedom. Further, many of us have a relative or know of a community member who was injured or killed in defense of America. Memorial Day is the day to honor these heroes and to celebrate our freedom. I invite all of you to join us in Sylvania on Memorial Day. Sylvania is a wonderful place for families to gather, honor our veterans and celebrate America on Memorial Day. riparian ecology.

Rick’s City Diner owner mentors UT student and basketball player

Rick Salem enjoys his conversations with Willie Jackson.

When University of Toledo basketball team member Willie Jackson first went to Rick’s City Diner at 5333 Monroe St., little did he know he would get much more than breakfast. He and some team members along with Coach Tod K were greeted by restaurant owner and genial host Rick Salem. “When Coach K introduced us, we had an instant bond,” Jackson remembered. “He has been great and so easy to talk with. He has taught me so much and has been such a good friend to me. And I have had the opportunity to meet so many different people through Rick.” “Willie is just some kind of special kid,” Salem noted. “He is like a sponge, absorbing everything we talk about. He is so curious about every aspect of the business and can’t get enough information.” Salem added, “But, more important, Willie is so generous. When he learned about my involvement in the Boys and Girls Club, he also got involved. He bought gifts for several of the kids even though he has very limited funds. When he learned that one of my friend’s granddaughter was having heart surgery, he reached out to the family asking if it would be alright if he sent a teddy bear and

a card to the little girl.” “He takes time to talk with people in the restaurant and with those who work here. If someone is dining alone, Willie notices and makes an attempt to sit down and talk with them awhile, unlike many other kids his age who spend most of their time looking at their phones,” Salem said. “He has overcome a host of obstacles in life yet he has an amazing attitude and seems to be always looking for ways to help others,” Salem reported “I just like to make people happy. It’s not worrying about Willie, but it’s about giving back,” Jackson affirmed. According to Jackson who grew up in Garfield Heights, Ohio, coming to The University of Toledo was one of the best decisions he has ever made. “I love it here. And, I am so happy that I met Rick. He has helped me so much and I have learned a great deal from him,” he said. A psychology and social work major, Jackson hopes to play basketball at the professional level after graduation. If that is not an option, he feels he has many other career possibilities thanks to all the connections he has made while having breakfast at Rick’s City Diner, thanks to his mentor Rick Salem.

Top Ten Things You Never Knew About Camp Camp has become a staple of the summer season. Each year, millions of children, youth, and adults head to the hills, lakes, valleys, and parks to participate in the time-honored tradition of camp. And, while most people easily conjure up images of campfires and canoes, there is a lot more to the camp experience. Here are ten things you may not have known about the camp experience. 10. Camp is older than dirt, almost literally. Started in 1861, the camp experience turned an impressive 150 years young in 2011. The secret behind the longevity? “One hundred and fifty-five years later, there is a camp for every child,” said Tom Rosenberg, president and chief executive officer for the American Camp Association® (ACA). “From specialized camps to general traditional camps, the essence of the camp experience is stronger than ever.” 9. Camp is worth its weight in gold, and then some! The camp experience is life-changing – developing friendships and memories that last well beyond the final campfire. And, there is a camp for literally every budget. Often camps offer special pricing or financial assistance, and some camp experiences qualify for tax credits or for payment with pre-tax dollars. Visit ACAcamps.org for more information. 8. Green is “zen.” Research shows that firsthand experiences with nature, like those at camp, reduce stress in children and help them better handle stress in the future. In addition to teaching children how to be good stewards of the environment, camps are teaching children how to enjoy the world around them and take a minute to breathe deep and feel the nature, which ultimately teaches them how to de-stress the natural way. 7. Mommies and daddies do it too. Camp is

not just for children and youth. There are family camp experiences, camps for single adults, senior adults and any adult that wants to relax and enjoy all camp has to offer. Adults benefit from the same sense of community, authentic relationships and self-discovery that children do. Camp is an excellent vacation option, allowing adults to try a variety of new activities in a safe and fun environment. 6. Try this on for size! Camp is a great place to try new activities and hobbies. Afraid of rock walls? According to ACA research, 74 percent of campers reported that they tried new activities at camp that they were afraid to do at first. And, those activities often leave lasting impressions. In the same survey, 63 percent of parents reported that their child continued new activities from camp after returning home. 5. Manners matter, and often linger. The camp experience teaches more than just archery or lanyard making. The entire experience is made of teachable moments, perhaps one of the biggest is how to live with a group of people. Campers learn to pick up after themselves, respect each other’s property and to say “Please” and “Thank You.” 4. Veggies taste better with friends. Hollywood and fictional novels may have given camp food a bad reputation, but in truth, camps are constantly exploring healthy food options, and often are at the forefront of things like allergy specific diets, healthy snack options, and vegetarian meals. According to ACA’s 2011 Emerging Issues survey, 90.7 percent of responding camps indicated that healthy eating and physical activity was an important or very important issue. 3. If everyone else went to camp, maybe there’s something to it! Camp has played an important role in the lives of some of the most talented peo-

ple in history. ACA’s family resource site offers a list of notable campers – including business professionals, celebrities, artists and great thinkers. 2. Camp gets those neurons pumping! Education reform debate and concern over summer learning loss have pushed academic achievement into the spotlight. Research shows that participation in intentional programs, like camp, during summer months helps stem summer learning loss. In addition, camp provides ample opportunity for developmental growth, which is a precursor to academic achievement. And, because of the “hands-on” nature of camp, often children who struggle in traditional education settings do well at camp. 1. Camp builds leaders for the 21st century and beyond! Independence, resiliency, teamwork, problem-solving skills, and the ability to relate to other people — these are the skills that tomorrow’s leaders will need, and are the skills camp has been adept at building for 150 years. “Camp gives children and youth the critical tools they will need to become successful adults,” said Rosenberg. For more information on preparing your child for an independent, fun-filled summer, visit ACA’s family resource page at ACAcamps.org. Or, follow ACA on Facebook and Twitter for helpful hints and camp information.
